Ouch!
For those of you who have been wondering why there have been few posts it is because I have recently had back surgery for a lower L5-S1 disc herniation pushing on the S1 nerve root.
Wednesday March 27th was possibly the most painful night I have experienced since 2002 when I had my last back surgery. How did I manage to herniate a disk again you ask, well the answer is quite simple and the same as last time “I have no idea”. All I know is somehow I managed to drive myself to Lutheran General Hospital on Thursday morning and checked in for 9 days of some serious drugs, surgery and medical treatment. Finally, on Saturday April 5th they let John take me home. Since then I’ve been mastering rolling, walking and climbing the stairs with the aid of a cane.
